From the Publisher
Amid the elegance and random violence of New York's Upper East Side, a saleswoman is found hanging from the chandelier of a trendy boutique, her face disfigured with makeup, garishly costumed in a frilly dress five sizes too big for her. Assigned to the homicide investigation, April Woo, the NYPD Detective Sergeant introduced in the acclaimed Burning Time, is reunited with psychiatrist Jason Frank in a tantalizing thriller sure to leave readers breathless from its shattering opening to its powerful conclusion. When a second woman is found hung by the neck in a dress shop, April Woo, who can stop a gun-toting 200-pound drug-crazed thug, but not her mother's campaign to marry her off to a nice Chinese boy, will need all of her subtle expertise--and a grain of ancestral wisdom--to untangle the snarled threads of this case...and piece together a stunning portrait of evil. Dark, violent, and almost unbearably compelling, Hanging Time is a stunning achievement from an author destined to be one of the hottest names in crime writing.
"The writing is sharp as a scalpel, the cops are multidimensional, and the psychopathology is scary as hell. What more could any suspense reader want? -- Michael Palmer, Natural Causes.
"April Woo is a fresh and fascinating woman as well as sleuth. I'll drop what I'm doing to read Leslie Glass anytime." -- Nevada Barr, Track Of Theat.
"A haunting tale of murder, madness. lust and betrayal." -- Judith Kelman, One Last Kiss.
